His jaw clicks before a smile appears on his face. “Of course baby,” something about his tone irritates me, but I put it down to whatever pressure Ansel is putting him through. Whilst Ansel is alpha and leads the pack, Braden basically runs it for him, ensuring everything is taken care of. I still see the faint bruises on his knuckles, something that should have healed with his wolf. He told me there wasn’t a fight, but I can’t think what else would have caused this … not even training would result in these kinds of bruises.
The nurse comes in, taking some of my blood before she gives me some meds. My eyes grow heavy as I sink back into my pillow. “Sleep baby, I’ll be here when you wake up,” Braden purrs, kissing the tip of my pointed nose as I slip into a deep sleep. Visions of our wedding flutter through my mind.
“I do,” Braden says, squeezing my hand in his. He looks dashing in his dark grey suit and tie, Ansel conducts our ceremony wearing all black and Gaia is one of my bridesmaids in a blush pink silk dress. My own is fitted to my slim body with a large skirt that poofs out and lace overlay on the top with a large veil. I feel like a princess.
My heart jumps in excitement as I stare at Braden. His eyes never leave mine as I feel my palms sweat taking the ring and placing it on his finger. I just about whisper the words, my nerves getting the best of me as I whisper, “I do.” Braden beams, his face lighting up as if he didn’t realise this day would actually come and pulls me into a kiss as he moulds me to his body. I hear the cheers and claps of the pack as Gaia scatters flower petals over us as Braden and I break apart. He keeps a tight grip on my waist, as I feel almost dizzy with glee.
We walk out the front of the pack house as flowers fall over us as someone takes our picture; the flash hurting my eyes. Braden never leaves my side and I barely hear his promises of what the night will bring in my ear as everyone congratulates us. The rest of the day goes by in a blur and my cheeks ache from smiling and laughing so much.
Gaia and I dance with the rest of the guests for most of the evening before Braden pulls me from her grasp and whisks me across the dance floor. “My beautiful wife,” he purrs in my ear and he twirls me on the floor. Tonight will be our first night together. I wasn’t ready when we first got together, and Braden respected my decision to wait.
Then when we became engaged, he told me it will be best to wait until we are married for the night to be even more special. It was a little disappointing at first, but when I really thought about it, I knew he was right. I felt a flutter in my belly as he spun me again before drawing me close and tugging my back to his chest as we swayed in time to the music.
“Sometimes I look at you and still can’t believe this day came that you said yes.” he twirls me again as I smile before he pulls me close place a swift kiss on my lips. “Oh, why is that? Did you think someone else would claim me for themselves?” Even though I tease, his lips form a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes.
“I’m kidding Braden. I’ve always been yours,” he smiles, then kissing the tip of my nose. “I’m glad you won’t believe how much it means to me that I’m your first,” he whispers, so no one else will hear, making me blush.
“Braden, stop,” he smirks as his hand slides down my spine until it sits dangerously low on my back. My breath hitches as he brushes his nose against my ear. “Let’s get out of here,” he purrs, pulling my body closer as my throat goes dry as I swallow back, nodding. Even as he leads me through the crowd parting, wishing us well, my stomach flips and my breath hitches.

When we sit in the car, he turns to look at me with an intense look that has me pressing my thighs together. “You really are beautiful,” he muses more to himself than to me. I see his eyes focus on my lips as he leans across the space, the driver pulling away as he places a soft kiss on my lips. It’s unhurried, sweet, as if he is memorising my taste.Heat takes over my body, flooding my senses as it pounds in my veins, and before I know it, I am pushing Braden back into his seat as I hike my dress up so I can straddle his legs with a confidence I wasn’t expecting for my first time. Somehow it just feels right. I go to kiss him once more as he watches me with that burning intensity. “Have you done this before?” he asks, an edge to his voice as I stop halting my movements as I lean back on his legs, looking at him. I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.“No … I just-” he frowns at me as he adjusts me on his legs so our bodies are flush together. I feel his hardness stir beneath me as I

Braden leads me to where we are staying. Our new home. I had hoped we would go away for our honeymoon, but Braden said he wanted us to create our best memories where we live, not somewhere else. As I step inside for the first time, I take in my surroundings. I can’t really see much of the place, as it is covered in dark red flower petals and candles. “Braden …” he smiles, lifting me into his arms as he begins to walk me through the huge place until he walks us into the bedroom.The faint flickering light dances off the walls as every surface is covered in petals. The scent of roses hanging heavy in the air. I watch as he shrugs off his jacket, releasing his tie, his muscles flexing beneath the fabric of his shirt until layer after layer they pool at the floor. When he pulls out his belt, his eyes gleaming, his slacks sitting low on his hips my eyes don’t know where to look with how handsome he is.“Take off your dress Claudia,” my gaze shifts back to his as I realise I have just been

I had a procedure to remove the baby, and after three days of tests, observations, and taking blood, I was finally ready to leave. My mind wandered to the handsome stranger I had met that fateful night. I was so sure it had been real, but after all my time in the hospital, it felt like a distant dream. Even my wolf couldn’t be sure anymore.Everyone kept telling me I had fallen, the impact jarring the baby. As a result, when I walked home... well, I know how it ended. Braden helped me shower at the hospital. His touches were soothing and gentle as he helped me wash my hair and bathe. He was so kind that I felt tears well up as the hot spray warmed my back. I had wanted to give him a child more than anything. He would never say it, but I felt as if I had disappointed him somehow. Despite his care, I found his touch distant. When he turned me to face him, he looked detached."It's probably his own way of coping with the loss," I thought. Everyone responds differently. Maybe he’ll feel b

Gaia responded swiftly, and I headed downstairs, slipping on my heels. I debated driving but decided to walk. The last time I walked, things didn’t go well, but I shook off the feeling and started toward the orphanage. Gaia helped out there often, always reminding me how important it was to remember those who are often forgotten.As soon as I reached the door, Gaia burst through with a beaming smile. “You made it!” Her golden hair flowed around her face, braided and clipped by the kids, no doubt. She looked stunning in her tailored suit, though I could see the kids' handprints in paint on her sleeves.“Come inside, it’s freezing,” she said, ushering me in.The lump in my throat grew as I saw the children running around, laughing and playing. This had been a terrible idea.“Do you mind holding Charlotte?” Gaia asked, already running to organize the kids for storytime. Mechanically, I nodded and took the one-year-old in my arms. She sucked her fingers and looked at me inquisitively.Gai

When I arrived back at the house, it was dark. The eerie quietness of the large home greeted me, the grand halls and high ceilings making it feel even more empty. I took a deep breath, my heels clicking against the stone floor as I made my way inside.Braden’s office door was shut, a thin line of light glowing from underneath. I paused, wondering if I should knock or if it was better to give him more space. The memory of his distant touch in the hospital played in my mind, and my chest tightened. I hadn’t felt connected to him since we lost the baby, but I also hadn’t really tried to break through the wall he’d built around himself.Steeling my nerves, I approached the door and knocked lightly.“Come in,” his voice called out, muffled but firm.I pushed the door open to find him sitting at his desk, papers scattered around him, his laptop open and glowing on the surface. He glanced up briefly, his eyes tired but composed.“You’re back,” he said, not unkindly, but not warmly either.“Y

Two weeks have passed, and Braden seems married to his office. I’ve tried everything—giving him space, talking to Gaia, even heading into the office to drag him out for food or sleep.Worse, not only does he leave me alone every night to cry myself to sleep, but he also won’t tell me what’s going on with the pack. I’m his wife; we don’t keep secrets from each other. After many futile attempts and receiving only one-word responses or grunts, I’m going to try something I know has never failed to get his attention before.Up in the bedroom, I’m wearing my black lace robe. My black hair cascades down to my waist as I apply my signature red lipstick. My eyes still hold dark circles underneath, but I can’t go through this alone. I need him. I dust a light blush over my freckles and apply mascara to my clear blue eyes. Under the robe, I’m wearing the matching black lace set I know Braden likes—he’s asked me to wear it often enough.Heading downstairs to the kitchen, I grab two wine glasses a

Unable to stay in the house a minute longer, both for shame and for something else I don’t want to think about in too much detail, I’m grateful when I hear my phone beep. It’s Gaia, asking if I can help her with the kids at the orphanage as she’s not feeling well. I quickly send her a message, checking if she’s okay. She replies that she’s fine, just going for some checkups because she thinks she might be pregnant. A pang shoots through my chest at her words, but I manage to wish her congratulations.Even nearly a month later, I’m still struggling to cope with the loss. Although, it feels like I lost more than just the baby that day.Pushing away the dark thoughts, I quickly dress, ensuring I look presentable. A white shirt, tailored slacks, my hair pinned up, and my signature red lipstick. I look like me, but as I gaze in the mirror, I wonder when I’ll feel like myself again.Descending the old, creaky stairs, I hover near Braden’s closed office door. My hand rises to knock, tempted

I can feel the hush of voices in the air, a quiet buzz that fills my ears and begs me to listen. Despite knowing it’s not right, I can’t resist the pull to eavesdrop.My breaths come slow and shallow as I inch closer, my ears straining to make out the words floating through the air. But as I peer through the narrow crack, my heart is pierced with a sharp sting of betrayal. The bitter taste of shock and hurt spreads across my tongue as I see Braden standing just inches away from... Gaia?The sight is like a punch to the gut, leaving me reeling.My eyes widen in disbelief as I struggle to comprehend what I am seeing. Worse, I notice that Braden has her face cupped in his hand, his thumb dragging along her lower lip in a way that is far too intimate. The two of them are locked in a deep, intense gaze, completely oblivious to anyone else around them.I can’t make out Gaia’s face as she is turned to face him as they gaze at each other. I jump back, far too shocked to even process what I’m

I wake with a jolt, a sharp twist in my gut telling me something isn’t right. The weight of the room presses down on me as I blink against the dim light filtering through the curtains. A few breaths pass before I realize—I’m still in the lounge. Memories from last night surface, fragmented and raw, but I shove them aside as an unsettling void tugs at my consciousness. Something is missing.Claudia.Panic doesn’t grip me immediately—her clothes are still here. For all I know, she could have just gone back to the room to shower. But then, my gaze snags on a note resting atop one of her shoes, and an icy dread coils around my spine.I knew something was off in the way she looked at me last night, but the moment her lips wrapped around my cock, nothing else mattered. Now, as I stare at the note in her elegant scrawl, I wish I had listened to my instincts.I crush the paper in my palm and hurl it into the dying embers of the fireplace, watching as the flames lick at it hungrily, turning he

The ground vibrates beneath me as the rhythmic stomp of boots closes in. The troops march one by one toward my pack, their movements a relentless drumbeat of impending doom. If I make it out of this, Leo is going to kill me—for real this time—for going off on my own.Lying here in my cell, my body throbs with the pain of my own recklessness. What I thought was an act of bravery now feels like pure stupidity. I should have challenged Braden for the pack the second I was thrown into his tent. That was the plan. But it all went wrong. Horribly wrong.Barking orders ring out from the guards outside, their voices sharp and grating. I try to force through the haze of pain of the heat to reach Leo through the mind link, but it’s useless. I’m too weak. My breath catches as the flap of the tent rustles, signaling someone’s return. My heart pounds harder, slamming against my ribs. I want out of this cage, but I also don’t. The idea of someone finding me like this—vulnerable, helpless—is terrify

"What did you just do?" I ask, my body igniting in seconds, heat flooding every vein. My vision blurs as sweat drips down my back. Braden sways in front of me, something small and glinting in his hand. My body wobbles as he lets me go, and I claw at my hair, fingers fumbling for the vial of liquid silver. My hands shake too much to grip it. I just can't reach it. "Heat serum. If you're going to act like a whore, then I'll treat you like one," he groans, voice thick with amusement.A smolder ignites between my legs, molten and all-consuming. Fuck. I don’t know how much he gave me, but my body betrays me instantly, my movements sluggish, my mind drowning in the haze of unbearable heat pulsing through my core.My fingers slip from my hair, every thought narrowing down to a single need—I have to get out of these leathers and this jacket. Too hot. Too tight. Every beat of my heart pumps more of the serum through my bloodstream, and my panties are already soaked. The thick scent of my arou

I'm thrown onto an old wool rug, the rough fibers scraping against my bare hands. I sneer, because even in the midst of battle, Braden refuses to go without his creature comforts. Though a small part of me is grateful—at least I'm not being smushed into the dirt again.Several pairs of black boots surround me before two gleaming black brogues step into my line of vision. "Baby, is that really you?" His voice carries an almost genuine concern, but I know better. I adjust my position, craning my neck to look up at him.Those dark blue eyes are as cold as ever. But everything else is different. He’s massive, his muscles stretched tight over his frame as if he’s been pumping himself full of steroids. He could crush me like a bug."Braden... thank the goddess," I breathe, forcing bile down as I summon a few well-placed tears to trickle down my cheek. He's the one man that has haunted my dreams for months, I never wanted to see him again. I try to stop my body from shaking from fear grippin

I make it to the top of the cliffside, my heart pounding like a war drum as the sun scorches my back. The air hangs heavy, thick with the kind of stillness that only comes before battle—that electric pause before chaos erupts. Even the birds have fallen silent.I tread carefully along the ridge, peering over the other side where their camp sprawls below. From here, I'm just far enough beyond our borders that no guards should detect me. I suppress my aura, unwilling to risk Braden sensing my presence. Lowering myself into a crouch, I inch forward until I can lie flat behind a boulder, my breath shallow, controlled.The camp is a storm of movement, warriors swarming in organized precision. Hundreds, maybe even thousands. It’s as if the entire New Moon Pack has assembled for this. My stomach tightens as I spot Uncle Leon moving through the front line, barking orders. So this is how the rogues are involved. Disappointment stabs through me. One of my father’s most trusted allies, now worki

I wake up tangled in a mess of limbs on the floor, the fire now reduced to glowing embers, and a pleasant ache thrumming between my thighs. Leo lies beside me, his soft snores blending with the distant chirping of birds, signaling the break of dawn. Carefully, I peel myself away from where our bodies are molded together. I can’t wake him. Every movement is slow, calculated, as I inch my way free.Once I’m loose, I jump up, the dim morning light seeping through the curtains now that the candles have long since melted into pools of wax on the floor. My fingers fumble for a pen, hastily scrawling a note explaining where I’m going and why. He’ll be furious—I know it—but he’s my mate, and I will protect him no matter what. This way, at least, he’ll be mad but not worried. Or at least, I hope not.I sprint down the hallway, my bare feet slapping against the cold wooden floor. The scent of burnt-out wax lingers in the air, mingling with the remnants of last night. Clothes and forgotten items

Her lips curl into a smirk that could make the devil himself drop to his knees, and I growl low in my throat, the sound rumbling through my chest like a predator stalking its prey. She’s mine— mine—and I’ll be damned if I don’t claim every fucking inch of her tonight. My fingers work at the clasp of her finery with a fury, tearing the fabric away like it’s an insult to her divine body. The sound of it ripping echoes in the dimly lit room, and her breath hitches, those jewel-blue eyes of hers flashing with a hunger that matches my own.Her curves are a fucking masterpiece, and as her attire falls to the floor, I take her in like a starving man at a feast. Her tits are perfect—full and heavy, the nipples already pebbled and begging for my mouth. I can’t help but reach out, my rough palms grazing over her soft skin, and she shivers under my touch. “Leo don’t tease me,” she begs but she will be begging far more before she gets what she wants. Her hips sway as she steps closer, her pussy s

I pull back, giving Leo another slow, lingering smile. The fire crackles beside us, its flickering glow casting shadows over his sharp features, but worry still lingers in his eyes. I don’t want that. I refuse to let him carry it tonight.Biting my lip, I feel the undeniable pull between us, the electric charge humming in the space where our bodies almost touch. Leaning in, I brush featherlight kisses along his cheek, trailing down to his jaw. A low groan rumbles from his chest, his breath hitching as I shift, straddling his thighs. His hands find my chin, his grip firm yet reverent as he tilts my face to meet his.Then his lips crash into mine.The kiss is searing—possessive, commanding—like he’s trying to reclaim control, to remind me exactly who he is. I let him. My fingers thread through his thick, tousled hair, loving the way it feels against my skin, soft yet untamed. His tongue tangles with mine, the heat between us rising with every breath, every press of our bodies molding in

Reid freezes, and a crushing weight settles in my chest at the thought of disappointing him.“Oh,” he says, his voice flat. The bond thrashes inside me, begging me to explain. I want to—but I also don’t.“It’s not what you think. My mate physically removed my canines so I could never mark anyone else.”Every muscle in his body locks into place, rigid as if he’s about to explode like a bomb. Damn.“I’ll tell you everything. Please, let’s just go to my room.” I scan the corridor because I can't say what I want to with so many people close by.His jaw clicks so loudly it echoes down the hall.Reid grabs my arm, and the moment his skin touches mine, sparks dance between us, making my already addled brain melt to mush. He doesn’t say a word as he practically drags me down the hallway. The silence stretches for what feels like miles, the energy between us thick, electric, and suffocating. I can feel his rage burning through him, searing like an open flame. Despite swearing I would never tel
